What is Banjo Mania?

Banjo Mania is a fun filled workshop.   Lawson Peets weaves the history of the banjo,  how it is constructed,  plays a few songs to make his point.  At every workshop he forms the now famous 'NEVER PLAYED A BANJO BAND" where in a matter of minutes folks who have never played a banjo are strumming songs together.  Children and senior citizens as well as all ages in between have played in this band.

Who should attend?

This is workshop for people who play banjo,  who want to play banjo,  who like banjo music, or just like music in general.In other words, it's for everybody who wants to have some fun.

fun for the whole family

This "Never Played A Banjo Band"  was formed at Blue Ridge Music in Asheville, NC.  It is one of the many that Lawson has formed at his Banjo Mania Workshops
